Radiation damage to buffer components. (a) The change in low-q intensity (average q between 0.005 and 0.008 Å−1) as a function of time, showing the relative radiation resistance of buffers (as indicated in the figure legend; the actual data are given in Supplementary Fig. S1). (b) Addition of glycerol prevents radiation damage to buffers. The change in low-q intensity (average q between 0.005 and 0.008 Å−1) highlights the increased radiation resistance of buffers upon the addition of glycerol (buffers as indicated in the legend; data are given in Supplementary Fig. S2). |
